“He will only remain hearts of the coma_cose”

During a long interview with Andrea Scarpa For The messenger, Linusartistic director of Radio deejayclearly commented on the songs of Sanremo 2025 directed by Carlo Conti expressing a clear judgment on the actual impact of the songs in the race. From Coma_cose to Ollyfrom Brunori to Lucio Courses.

“I don't think anything will remain. Two months have passed, the only song of this year festival that we will remember in ten years will be Hearts of the Coma_cose. The rest, nice. Point.”

The opinion on Olly, Bruori and Lucio Corsi

But not only Coma_cose. Linus He also commented on the three artists on the podium of the 75th edition: Olly, Lucio Corsi And Brunori sas.

“Olly is a nice character. He too cute. Before saying that it is the future of Italian music, however, I would wait for a moment. Lucio Corsi and Brunori Sas had been known for years and have done better”

Words that arrive at a time when it is reflected on the real impact of the festival in launching lasting hits. Two months after the end, streaming data confirm (or deny) his words? We talked about it in this study.

Linus and the fame: “I am not famous, they are those of TV. But it is fine for me”

During the chat, Linus, today 67 years old, confessed to thinking more and more often at the time to leave everything and retire. The artistic director of Radio Deejay, however, also has something that really makes him angry …

“I have to be honest, I am part of a generation that represents the world of Italian entertainment. I am a contemporary of Gerry Scotti, Fiorello, Jovanotti, Amadeus, Fabio Fazio, Paolo Bonolis and others. The feeling that by doing the same job, but on the radio, has always been the first of the Serie B, it is a little on the ca ** o. Here, I said it”

Among other things, the end of the winning union between Radio Deejay and the Municipality of Riccione is very discussing in these days.

Linus, Radio Deejay says goodbye to the municipality of Riccione in 2025

“A long story that ends with a few words: after so many years, this summer Radio Deejay will not be in Riccione. We tried to the end, but evidently someone had already decided otherwise. Too bad.” With these words, published on his social channels, Linus officially announced the end of the historical collaboration between Radio deejay and the Municipality of Riccione.

A farewell that marks the closure of a chapter almost forty years long. Since 1987, the radio has been the protagonist of the summers Riccione with direct by Aquafan, events in the square, and above all with the format Deejay on internshipwhich since 2015 brought concerts to the stage of the Romagna city with some of the most loved names on the Italian music scene.

End of an era: what happened with the municipality of Riccione

Tensions, in reality, had already started last year, when the new municipal administration, led by the mayor Daniela Angelinihas decided to change the events management model. After years of direct custody, a public tender system was introduced to choose partners for the organization of summer events.

In 2024, Radio deejay However, he had participated in the announcement and had won it. But for the summer 2025, the paradigm has changed again. The Councilor for Tourism Mattia Guidiinterviewed by Corriere della Seraexplained the new direction as follows:

“Starting from last year, in compliance with what has been declared in the election campaign, we have reversed the paradigm on the front of tourism promotion and events. It is a question of working as often as you can with calls and public evidence to choose the best players and achieve certain goals.”

Last year Radio Deejay had participated in a call to organize his concerts. And they had won it. Throughout 2025 and for the following years we have changed the whole paradigm. “

Linus' response: “Someone had already decided otherwise”

Words that have not appeased the mood of the broadcaster. The artistic director of Radio Deejay entrusted his social networks for how the events took place, making sure that, beyond the form, the substance had already been decided:

“We tried to the end, but evidently someone had already decided otherwise.”

In the meantime, the city of Riccione has announced its new plan for the summer: a multi -channel promotional campaign, on a national and international scale, and a new musical format, Riccione Music Citydesigned to involve more urban and public areas.

In the official post of the Municipality's Facebook page we read:

“Riccione has chosen to invest strongly in promoting the tourist destination: it is not only about confirming the quality of the events that have always distinguished the city, but to expand the number of arenas and places involved, and to focus on tourism promotion with a multi -channel campaign on a national and international scale to strengthen the identity of the city as a premium destination.”

Radio Deejay – Municipality of Riccione. that of 2025 a closure that knows of open wound

The divorce between Riccione e Radio Deejay It is not just a logistical question: it is the closure of a piece of collective imagination. Direct them with Aquafan, the artists discovered during the summer lives, the radio voices in the heart of the Riviera … All this, for now, goes to the archive.

The DJ also kept us to thank the competing radio:

“Fortunately, there is an ethical code between radio for which all those that have been contacted have declined out of respect for us. And thank you very much“

Between the bitterness of Linusand the ambition to relaunch the Municipality, a symbolic chapter for summer music in Italy really closes. Riccione will still be the musical capital of summer without Radio deejay?
